— THE PATHWAY / PROGRESSION —

From foundation to fine detail

Four core courses make one pathway. Each step builds on the one before: steady hand drills first, then full fine line practice, then real control of needles and technique, then advanced precision. You don’t have to start at the bottom. Join at the step that matches the work you can already do.

— 02 / FOUNDATION —

Beginner Fine Line Tattoo Course

For people new to tattooing. Build fine line basics through drawing, hand control and repeated line drills.

— 01 / CORE COURSE —

Fine Line Tattoo Course

Our main course. Professional fine line tattooing from start to finish, from the first stencil to the finished line.

— 06 / CONTROL —

Needle & Technique Training

Choose needles with purpose, control your line work and apply fine line techniques with confidence.

— 03 / PRECISION —

Advanced Fine Line Training

For artists who already tattoo. Sharpen your precision, fine detail and consistency across delicate work.

— SUPPORTING DISCIPLINES —

Skills beside the line

Take these alongside any step of the pathway, or on their own to strengthen one part of your practice.

— 04 / DESIGN —

Fine Line Tattoo Design Course

Composition, scale and placement for designs that stay clear on skin. Explore design training.

— 05 / MACHINE —

Tattoo Hygiene & Safety Training

Hygiene, infection control and safe studio practice: the base every client relies on. Explore hygiene and safety.

— IF YOU ARE NEW —

You have never held a machine

Begin with the Beginner Fine Line Tattoo Course. Add Tattoo Hygiene & Safety Training early, so good habits are there from your first line.

— IF YOU ARE DEVELOPING —

You draw well and want the full craft

The Fine Line Tattoo Course takes you through the whole process. Pair it with the Fine Line Tattoo Design Course to bring your drawing onto skin.

— IF YOU ALREADY TATTOO —

You want finer, cleaner results

Go to Advanced Fine Line Training. If one tool holds you back, Needle & Technique Training or Tattoo Machine Training goes straight to it.
